as good as any other.

• Product releases. If you have new products coming out, be sure to make a note in your promotional calendar. This will be the deciding factor when it comes to creating your blog post subjects and your newsletter topics, so be diligent about keeping notes in your promotional calendar.
• JV partner promotions. Affiliate promotions—if you know about them ahead of
time—are important to put on your promotional calendar, too, so you can plan your content around them.
• Upcoming events. You’ll definitely want to let your audience know when and where
you’ll be speaking, if you have a new book coming out, if you’re hosting a webinar, or any other event that’s important to you.

PrinttheWeeklyEditorialCalendar(Fig.2)(includedinthispack)onepermonthandfillinthefollowing:
• Promotion and Date: Write in what you’ll be promoting that week and the date of that week’s newsletter. For example, you’re launching a book, hosting a free webinar, or releasing a new product.
• Newsletter Topic: The goal is to create your newsletter around your latest promotion. So, think of an angle to build interest in the promotion while providing interesting content.
WeeklyNewsletterPlanner
Allrightsreserved©2016www.iaplifecoaches.org
16
For example: If you are releasing a product about video marketing, you could create a video with three tips about using video in your business. Therefore your newsletter topic would be video because that is the topic of your promotion.
• Related Free Content: Brainstorm a blog post, video, or story that ties into the topic of the promotion for this week. This free content will be helpful, but also generate interest in learning more about your promotion.
• Ways to Generate Buzz: Here you’ll add any additional ideas you have for social media or more blog posts, interviews, or videos that you want to create for this promotion. Also, jot down ideas for helping your affiliates to promote you here, too.
